Doug Stipanicev has been a leader in the Firm for many years, first as head of office in Perth, and also serving as a member of the board for the past seven years.
Dentons’ Chief Operating Officer, Maureen Migliazzo said Mr. Stipanicev has made a significant contribution to the success of the Firm as Chair over the past two years.
